Foul Serve
Rules
Tayyib Rizwan Asked 3 years ago
Hi
If someone does a wrong serve like not tossing the ball up before serving but other than that, the serve is perfectly fine, what happens? Is the serve repeated or is it the opponent's point? Or something else?

Hi Tayyib,
If the serve is illegal in any part then it is a point against the server.
The umpire may warn the player in this situation but they don't have to.

Hitting the Ceiling
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.

Subsequent foul serves mean that the receiver will be awarded the point.
